Five Days Until the Venetian Poker Boycott: Adelson Remains Defiant

The countdown continues.

Two days ago, I issued a simple declaration to Sands Corporation Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Sheldon Adelson.

The deal was (and remains) that the boycott scheduled for next week (July 22-26) will be called off provided that Mr. Adelson acknowledges poker as a “game of skill.”

Nearly one month has elapsed since the boycott was first announced.  Two days have passed since my offer to cancel the boycott based on very simple and reasonable terms.  So far, the Adelson camp remains silent.
